Security incident oil tanker solent

[Scubadoo]

Looks like some stowaways have forced the crew to lock themselves away. There seems to be a 3 to 5 mile exclusion zone off Shanklin at the moment.

BBC news has it listed , sounds like it was due to dock today so the captain could unload his fluid goods but it was postponed , maybe the illegals were fed up playing I spy or scrabble , more likely getting ready for there benefits when they land at Fawley .

Really how did you guess that?

Given that there's a FOB been set up in HMNB Pompey, two CH47s have flown to Poole (one via SFSG in St Athan) and the MCT flight of 2 x Merlin and 2 x Wildcat have flown out of HERON (all OSI BTW) you might be on to something.

Good antique picture though.

Given the above “ joint agency response “ why are the rubber dinghy s getting through?
Turns out 6 helicopters were used in the end .- after the event news btw .

Even 1 copter with a bloke manning a heat detecting thermal imaging piece of kit is better than knack all ?

If you’re referring to me I can assure you it’s not aimed at you...I couldn’t agree more and don’t like the situation anymore than the rest of us, hence the angry emojI.
